What is the obscure intent behind "Einheitslösung!"? (= "One size fits all solution"?)
Mario Richter: Im Nachdruck in problem 144-147 steht nur auf e5 ein sB (also keiner auf e3). Allerdings gibt es in allen drei Varianten (sBe5+e3, nur sBe5, nur sBe3) jede Menge NL, die ohne Rochade und e.p.-Key auskommen - am wenigsten dann, wenn nur auf e3 ein sB steht. (2010-10-10)
VL: Cf. P0002475. (2012-08-26)
A.Buchanan: Possibly "Einheitlösung!" is a request to unify retro implications derived across separate parts of the PRA solution. But cooked chessically irrespective of these philosophical issues, which still wait to be resolved 60 years on. (2022-02-16)

play all play one stop play next play all
Henrik Juel: The longest among the possible last moves is f7-f5, so 1.exf6ep d5 2.f7 g5 3.f8Q!?, but 3... Kh7!, so something is wrong. (2003-11-11)
HBae: Habe korrigiert. Es fehlte der wKa1 und die wDb2. (2019-10-11)
Henrik Juel: C+ by Popeye 4.61 (assuming that the condition was in effect also in last move)
Pd7 and Pg4 can be removed without affecting correctness or symmetry (2019-10-11)
Bernd Schwarzkopf: Pd7 and Pg4 are necessary. Without them last move could have been: 1.Pg6xXf5. (2021-02-06)
Mario Richter: Interestingly, the Editors of 'TfS' too thought that Pd7 and Pg4 can be omitted (s. 'TfS' 06/1938, p.124: "Går det inte lika bra utan bönderna på d7 och g4? (BL). Jo, det går visst lika bra. Men förf. har väl haft någon mening med dem också (Red.)."

I think, pawn d7 serves to prevent retractions like R: 1.Pg6xXf5, but pawn d4 is only there to complete the symmetry (i.e. Pd7 is necessary, Pg4 is not). (2021-02-06)
A.Buchanan: Doesn’t bPg4 stop 2.Dg2 as a dual? (2021-02-07)

A.Buchanan: The whole point of this ornamental problem is the symmetry. Any correction must preserve that. How about getting rid of the 2 rooks and the g-h-file bishops, then shift wBe4 to a4? 8/2n5/4p3/4N3/BKPk4/4N3/4p3/2n5? (2022-12-16)
Yuri Bilokin: I agree that the position should be symmetrical and economical, without unnecessary figures. The value of the positions reflected here is close to zero. (2022-12-16)

A.Buchanan: Bath & Wells (not Welts) are two small neighbouring cities in the West of England which are kind of paired together. E.g. there is a Bishop of B&W (which it occurs for me might stand for Black & White, suggesting a thematic problem with a neutral bishop). (2022-12-16)

Zwar mehr nur ein Schema, die nach dem 3. weißem Zug ent-
stehende Zugzwangstellung (KD/KSS) dürfte aber nicht uninteressant sein. Nebenbei: ein einfacher Fall von Asymmetie - symmetrisch wäre als Lösung. De4? mit der Doppeldrohung 2. Dxh7# und Dxh1#.

Analysis
White is missing one man, so last move was not a pawn capture
White pawns captured all six missing black men, so last move was not d7-d5
Obviously last move was not made by Ke7 or Sd8f8, so last move was f7-f5 legitimizing the ep key (2020-11-02)
